Prevent

Prevent is about safeguarding individuals and communities from the threat of terrorism. It is delivered as part of CONTEST, the Government’s counter-terrorism strategy.

If someone is identified as being potentially vulnerable to radicalisation or extremism, Prevent puts in place processes to help them. If you have any concerns that someone may be vulnerable to radicalisation please contact the relevant safeguarding teams.

If you have concerns about a child under the age of 18 please contact the Multi Agency Safeguarding Hub (MASH).

Resources

Our e-learning module has been developed by the council for the city. It aims to explain key terms such as 'extremism', 'radicalisation' and 'terrorism'. It will also explain what Prevent is, how to report a concern about an individual in Southampton and what happens once a concern has been reported. It should take around 15 minutes to complete.

Working group

To ensure all institutions in Southampton are meeting their responsibilities under the Prevent duty, a sub-committee of the Safe City Partnership has been established. The Southampton Prevent working group comprises over 20 members who are listed in the document below.
